69 Corvette Coupe 427-435 L71 Tripower. Nice original car does not appear to have ever been hit hard anywhere. All codes believed to be correct as to color options etc.  Car was 427-390 hsp from factory now 427-435 L71 tri-power 1968 model.  This car is in the registry and was sold at Mecum Auction in Kissimee Fl appox 7 years ago for $35,500. Looks to be a 10-12 year old restoration of good to very good quality.  Car is very fast and very tight drives like a fully restored automobile. No clutch chatter no evidence of abuse by a heavy footed owner. Straight nice body as pictures show,very nice original interior,we believe.  Engine compartment sorted out well and not overly detailed with cheap inappropriate aftermarket parts. All shielding in place and great looking covers cleaners wires etc. Motor tight runs strong lifters etc sound as new. Fires and comes to idle very nicely smooth acceleration braking clutch etc everything works wipers have a mind of their own. Head lights dead on up--down both.  Goosebumps guaranteed with every start up it is truly tight and sounds terrific. I have handled 1500-2000 corvettes and know the difference. So when I say it sounds like 1969 and feels like 1969 I know what I am talking about. I was 16yrs old when I drove my 1st 69 big block coupe.  NOTES; paint is weak in several places see all pictures. Pipes not original. Undercarraige is very nice frame also. Tailpipe holes are in excellent condition. No silly inappropriate stuff about this car just super nice lines and raw horsepower pretty dark green original color with black vinyl interior , am/fm radio. No heated seats no navigation no walnut dashboard no communications center. How sweet it is!!   Though many areas of this car have been lovingly restored its interior is dead original survivor condition. seat covers carpet dash console door panels post panels etc all appear to be original and in very nice condition. small areas of carpet are faded and frayed a bit but patina is as good as it gets.  The areas of weak paint can be redone and blended with the still strong areas to make this car a great driver with a nice appearance. It does not need a full paint job just refer to pictures very straight panels no evidence of accidents bad body work etc solid panels all the way around the car and engine compartment. Only area which appears to have had work is driver door premature cracking is the only real evidence we can find. See pictures.  Your questions invited however we prefer not to end the auction early. The reserve is conservative just under $30,000 and out of respect for all bidders we would like to see the auction through. Good luck and be sure to ck out our reviews since 1948 business done the right way over 35,000 automobiles bought and sold full transparency no secrets.
